An Alkylated Indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-Based Nonfullerene Acceptor with High Crystallinity Exhibiting Single Junction Solar Cell Efficiencies Greater than 13% with Low Voltage Losses.
A new synthetic route, to prepare an alkylated indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-based nonfullerene acceptor (C8-ITIC), is reported. Compared to the reported ITIC with phenylalkyl side chains, the new… Expand
Influence of Backbone Fluorination in Regioregular Poly(3-alkyl-4-fluoro)thiophenes.

Three novel polythiophene isomers are reported whereby the only difference in structure relates to the regiochemistry of the solubilizing side chains on the backbone. This is demonstrated to have a… Expand
Influence of the Electron Deficient Co‐Monomer on the Optoelectronic Properties and Photovoltaic Performance of Dithienogermole‐based Co‐Polymers
A series of donor–acceptor (D–A) conjugated polymers utilizing 4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-germolo[3,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (DTG) as the electron rich unit and three electron withdrawing units of… Expand
